Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

MaddieDraw is a coloring and drawing app made for children — and built by a parent. Protecting your child's privacy isn't a checkbox for us; it's the whole point. This policy explains, in plain language, what we do and (mostly) don't do with information.

The short version

We do not collect personal information from children. There are no accounts to create, no profiles, no ads, and no third-party advertising networks. Drawings your child makes stay on the device. We will never sell anyone's data.

Information we do not collect

MaddieDraw does not ask for or collect a child's name, email address, photos, contacts, microphone or camera access, or precise location. The app works fully without any sign-in.

Anonymous, aggregate usage data

To understand which features kids enjoy and to fix problems, the app uses Google Firebase Analytics to record anonymous, aggregate usage — for example, that a "coloring page was opened" or which screens are visited. This data is not tied to a real-world identity and is not used to build advertising profiles. It helps us make the app better. You can read about Google's handling of this data in the Firebase Privacy and Security documentation.

The launch email list (parents only)

If you, as an adult, choose to give us your email address on this website to be notified when MaddieDraw launches, we store that email with our email provider (Brevo) for that single purpose. We won't share or sell it, and you can ask us to remove it at any time by emailing privacy@maddiedraw.com.

No advertising

MaddieDraw contains no advertisements and no advertising SDKs. Nothing in the app tries to sell to your child or track them across other apps or websites.

Children's privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)

MaddieDraw is designed to comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar laws. Because we don't collect personal information from children, there's nothing about a child for us to disclose, sell, or misuse. If you believe we've somehow received a child's personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Data storage & security

Your child's artwork is saved locally on your device. Anonymous analytics are processed by Google Firebase under their security practices. If you delete the app, the artwork saved on the device is removed with it.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change how the app handles information, we'll update this page and its "last updated" date. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
